so yeah like the title said, high-flow catalyst converter?

this is a super "new comer" question but :

• can i install a high-flow cat converter onto a complete stock exhaust system?
  
• are there any power gains with a highflow cat?
  
• is there a big difference in the exhaust note?
  
• any bargains ?

 

1. yes
2. not really
3. yes...you will have a little bit of a ricer rasp
4. search the web

 

1) Yes you can install one onto a stock system, if you purchase one made specifically for your car... In this case it will bolt right in place of your factory cat.
2)The power gains from switching to a highflow cat are going to be miniscule...
3)There will be a difference in exhaust, just go to youtube and do a search, should be plenty vids there...
4) Yea, there are big bargains... You can get one for 20-50 dollars... Do I reccomend this???NNNOOO!!! If your going to buy one, get a good name brand such as magnaflow, as these cheap high flows seem to fall apart after a couple months...

 

ok thanks you guys
im considering in saving up for something that has to do with the exhaust =P
im 17 n i dont have a job so it gets frustrating sometimes =P so much things to get!!!

but if it gives me a ricer rasp ... i probably wont go there =P
i want something full on helpful with the horsepower

headers was somethign i was thinking about as well

 

also most of the ebay "high flow cats" are nothing but a resonated test pipe...not a real cat.

 

are megan test pipes any good?

 

test pipe is not a cat. its just a pipe

 

i know its just a pipe but doesnt it replace the cat? the reason im asking is cuz they sell ebay testpipes and wanted to know if the megan where any good in quity.

 

yes it dose replace the cat. But I wouldnt pay more than 30bucks for a test pipe. Just go ebay

 

actually i got a deal on the megan test pipe $40 shipped
and im getting the headers for $124 and there universal dual tip muffler for $107 all megan brand you think i will get more hp?
